As the summer heat ramps up, getting a good night's sleep can become increasingly difficult. Many people struggle to fall asleep or stay asleep when it's too hot, which can lead to feelings of exhaustion and frustration throughout the day.
At Furniture Fair, one of the questions we get often is, “I sleep hot. How can I get a cooler night’s sleep?” If you’ve had this question in the past or even last night, this article is for you. Fortunately, there are several ways to keep cool at night when you're sleeping, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day.
This article will cover several tips and tricks to sleep coolers that we here at Furniture Fair have learned during our 60-year history of selling mattresses and sleep accessories to Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Read on to get a cooler night’s sleep.
One simple way to keep cool at night is to use a fan. If you don't have a ceiling fan, consider investing in a stand-alone fan or even a small desktop fan that you can place on your nightstand.
Many people find that the ambient noise generated by a room fan can help them relax and sleep better. The steady hum of a fan can create a calming background noise that can drown out other distracting sounds, such as traffic or loud neighbors.
Ambient fan noise can create a more peaceful environment for sleep, helping to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Additionally, the gentle breeze generated by a fan can help circulate the air in your room, making it feel cooler and more comfortable.
This can also promote deeper and more restful sleep, as your body temperature naturally drops during sleep. Overall, the ambient noise generated by a room fan can be a simple and effective tool for improving sleep quality and promoting overall health and well-being.
One of the simplest ways to keep cool at night is to turn down the thermostat. While it may seem obvious, many people forget to adjust the temperature in their homes before they go to bed.
The ideal temperature for sleeping is between 65 - 68 degrees Fahrenheit (15.6-19.4 degrees Celsius). This range is cool enough to promote deep sleep but not so cold that you'll wake up shivering in the middle of the night.
In addition to adjusting the temperature in your room, you may also want to consider taking a cool shower or bath before bed. This can help lower your core body temperature, making it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep throughout the night.
You can also try using breathable bedding materials like cotton or linen to help regulate your body temperature. These materials are more lightweight and breathable than other fabrics, which can help prevent you from overheating during the night.
If you're still struggling to keep cool at night, you may want to consider investing in a cooling mattress or a cooling pillow. These products are designed to help regulate your body temperature while you sleep, which can lead to a more comfortable and restful night's sleep.
Cooling mattress technology has come a long way in recent years, making cooling mattresses better than ever. The first cooling mattresses were often made with simple gel-infused foam or other basic materials.
However, mattress material and engineering advances have led to the development of more advanced cooling technologies, such as phase change materials and breathable fabrics. These newer materials are designed to absorb and release heat, helping to regulate your body temperature throughout the night.
With these advancements, cooling mattresses are now more effective than ever at keeping you cool and comfortable throughout the night, leading to better sleep quality and overall health. Some of the brands we recommend for the best cooler sleep experience are the Luxebreeze Series by Tempur-Pedic and the Serta Arctic Series.
One way Furniture Fair helps you find the right mattress to help you sleep cooler is by having you take the bedMATCH rest test. This scientific test helps determine the best comfort level and support for your needs.
After you answer a few simple questions about your sleeping position preferences, such as what position you prefer to sleep in, and the information you provide will be one step closer to helping you find the right mattress, you’ll be ready to lie down on a bedMATCH testbed and begin the journey toward replacing your old mattress.
At the end of about three minutes, bedMATCH will determine your correct level of postural support. The bedMATCH program will select the best mattress type available for your sleep needs during the process.
The bedMATCH diagnostic system uses 18 statistical measurements and over 1,000 calculations, taking the guesswork out of your mattress search. The bedMATCH system provides a series of color-coded mattress recommendations for you to test based on your profile.
The mattress firmness options will range between soft, medium, and firm and are available as innerspring mattresses, memory foam mattresses, and hybrid mattress types. bedMATCH will recommend the bestfeatures and benefits for you based on your provided information.
After receiving the recommendations, you’ll be able to see every mattress on the floor that fits your profile, and you’ll be able to test them out immediately.
If you are looking for a cooling mattress, bedMATCH takes most of the guesswork out of the way, leaving you more time to decide on the perfect cooling mattress to help you sleep cooler.
Overall, there are several ways to keep cool at night when you're sleeping, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
By adjusting your thermostat, using a fan, using breathable bedding materials, taking a cool shower or bath, and investing in a cooling mattress or pillow, you can create a more comfortable sleeping environment and enjoy a better night's sleep.
